OIL-BURNER.

"Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed; January 18, 1918. Serial No; 212,381.,

To all whom it may concern: j

Be it known that I, ALBERrE- VAN AssoHE, citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Dearborn, county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certainnew and useful Improvement in Oil-Burners, and I declare the following to be afull, .clear,and exact description of the same, such, as will enable others skilled in the art to which it,

pertains to make and use the same, refer ence being had to the accompanying draw-v ings, which form a part of this specification. My invention relates to oil burners shown in the accompanying drawings and more particularly described in the following specification and claims.

One object of this invention is to provide a burner which is especially adapted .for

cooking stoves, ranges,heating stoves, furnaces, orother like installations.

Another object is to provide a burner of inexpensive ,construction which may be.

readily installed in' any ordinary heating or cooking stove or furnace. c Another object of the invention is to provide for the introduction of -steam alongv with the liquid fuel to assist combustion and to otherwise increase the efiiciency of the burner. 1

WV-ith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the com bination and arrangement of parts. and in; the details of construction hereinafter de-, scribed and claimed, it being understood that. 5

changes in the preciseembodiment;ofjthe invention herein disclosed" may be made without departing from the scope of this invention.

In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a vertical cross-sectional view of a cooking range showing the burner installed in the fire box, and also the connections between the fuel and water supply tanks,with parts in section to more clearly disclose the construction.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary detail sectional view of the burner, and cooperating connecting parts.

Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the burner on line 33 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view on line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Referring now to theletters of reference placed upon the drawings A, denotes a cooking range of usual construction, B, the fire box of the range, and

C, its grate bars.

D, indicates a fuel supply tank supported by a suitable bracket, adapted to discharge its contents into a cup D. E, is a pipe for conducting oil from the cup D. to the burner F, controlled by the valve G. The

burner F, is supported at one. end by a. mixing chamberF, screwed into a fitting H, located adjacent to the wall of the range.

Housed within themixing chamber is a casting 1,: adapted to receix e the end of the pipeE, having a series of ports I, adjacent to the periphery of the pipe for the passage of steam that it may commingle with the fuel as it issues from-the end of the pipe,as will be hereafter morefully explained. The burner F, is provided with a plurality of holes F for the delivery of gas and is furtherprovided with a ledge or lip F below the perforations to catch the drip of any Patented June 4., 1918.

1. In a device of the character'described,- a burner, a mixing chamber connected withthe burner, a'fueljsupply; tank, a pipe for; conducting fuel from the fuel 'supply tank l to the mixing chamber, a valve for control-'- ling' the, delivery of fuel through sa id pipe, aboiler located: above the burner consisting of arelatively large pipe closed at one endfl a water'supply tank, a pipeforthe delivery of waterfroih thetank extending intolthe'.
